Installing Nail-Fin window on brick home

Hi,

I bought a cheap Jeldwel low-e window for my kitchen for $100. It's all I can afford right now.

My current window in the kitchen has rotted wood and passes through a huge breeze. I needs to be thrown out as well as the frame around the window. I just wanted to put something in until the economy gets better. Something I can live with for a few years.

The window measures 36w x 36h (not including the fin)..

The window opening from brick to brick is 38w x 34h

I don't mind cutting out some brick to make it fit. Maybe I can take some pics during the install.

We all do this for a living and will not make a dime by suggesting to order the right sized window.
It's going to be way more work then you think to get a water tite seal and have the brick work come out looking right.
Even if someone gave me the window for free, and I have all the tools and know how, I would not install it like that.
Vinyl windows are almost always special ordered, made to size, The ones you see at the box stores are for new constrution so you can frame the opening to size.

Strange on how people post a question looking for advice. Everyone that chimes in tells them that it will cost them more $$, it will cause problems, it will create more work, it's completely wrong, and yet they disregard the advice and do it anyways.
